Abstract
The present invention provides a monitor for dynamic displaying. K cameras are connected with the monitor in order to display images recorded by the k cameras on a screen of the monitor. An “abnormality detection algorithm” is used for detecting abnormalities of the images recorded by the k cameras. Those images having abnormalities are displayed continuously on the screen, other images having no abnormality are not displayed, so that a security service personnel can watch those images having abnormalities on the screen to enable appropriate action quickly.
Description
- The present invention relates to a special monitor for security service, and more particularly to a monitor for security service which can select those images having abnormalities for displaying.
- Referring to
FIG. 1 , which shows schematically a conventional multiplex monitor for security service, themonitor 5 will display images recorded by several or dozens of cameras on screen thereof simultaneously. The screen of themonitor 5 inFIG. 1 is equally divided into fourpictures cameras monitor 5 for surveying everywhere in order to enable appropriate action quickly. - If the screen of the
monitor 5 is divided into dozens of pictures, then each picture is very small, therefore the security service personnel sometimes cannot sense the abnormalities in the pictures, and cannot enable appropriate action quickly. - The object of the present invention is provides a monitor for dynamic displaying. K cameras are connected with the monitor in order to display images recorded by the k cameras on a screen of the monitor. An “abnormality detection algorithm” is used for detecting abnormalities of the images recorded by the k cameras. Those images having abnormalities are displayed continuously on the screen, other images having no abnormality are not displayed, so that the security service personnel can watch those images having abnormalities on the screen to enable appropriate action quickly.
- The “abnormality detection algorithm” first obtains a background image from each camera, and then obtains a present image from each camera; both the background image and the present image have n×m pixels; a first value of each pixel of the present image is subtracted correspondingly by a second value of each pixel of the background image, and then get an absolute value thereof; those n×m absolute values are sumed up for being divided by n×m to get a Dmean; a reasonable “abnormality detecting threshold” Dthreshold is set in advance; if Dmean>Dthreshold, then there is abnormality, the present image is displayed on the screen of the monitor; otherwise the present image is not displayed on the screen of the monitor.
-
FIG. 1 shows schematically a conventional multiplex monitor for security service. -
FIG. 2 shows schematically a monitor for dynamic displaying according to the present invention. -
FIG. 3 shows schematically a special condition of the monitor for dynamic displaying according to the present invention. -
FIG. 4 shows schematically another condition of the monitor for dynamic displaying according to the present invention. -
FIG. 5 shows schematically a further condition of the monitor for dynamic displaying according to the present invention. -
FIG. 6 shows schematically a flow chart of the related program in the monitor for dynamic displaying according to the present invention. -
FIG. 7 shows schematically the “abnormality detection algorithm” according to the present invention. -
FIG. 8 shows schematically an example to describe “abnormality detection algorithm” according to the present invention. - Referring to
FIG. 2 , which shows schematically a monitor for dynamic displaying according to the present invention. In order to enable the security service personnel to sense the abnormalities in the pictures quickly, themonitor 5 is designed to use an “abnormality detection algorithm” for detecting the abnormalities of the pictures recorded by the cameras. If one picture of the cameras has abnormality, then themonitor 5 only displays said picture, other pictures having no abnormality will not be displayed. - For example, in
FIG. 2 , thepicture 6 of thecamera 1 has abnormality,other pictures cameras monitor 5 only displays thepicture 6 of thecamera 1,other pictures cameras picture 6 of thecamera 1, and enable appropriate action quickly. - Referring to
FIG. 3 , thepictures cameras other pictures cameras monitor 5 only displays thepictures cameras other pictures cameras pictures cameras - Referring to
FIG. 4 , thepictures cameras other picture 9 of thecamera 4 has no abnormality, therefore themonitor 5 only displays thepictures cameras other picture 9 of thecamera 4 will not be displayed. Thus the security service personnel can clearly sense the abnormalities in thepictures cameras - Referring to
FIG. 5 , thepictures cameras monitor 5 displays thepictures cameras pictures cameras - Referring to
FIG. 6 , which shows schematically a flow chart of the related program in the monitor for dynamic displaying according to the present invention. Instep 1, the program of themonitor 5 receives images recorded by k cameras. Instep 2, the program of themonitor 5 uses an “abnormality detection algorithm” to analyze the images recorded by k cameras. Instep 3, the program of themonitor 5 stores the results analyzed by the “abnormality detection algorithm”. Instep 4, the program checks that if all images recorded by k cameras have no abnormality; if no abnormality at all, then the images recorded by k cameras are equally combined into one picture (step 5), and outputted to the screen of the monitor 5 (step 6), go back tostep 1 for proceeding repeatedly; if there are abnormalities, then the images having abnormalities are equally combined into one picture (step 7), and outputted to the screen of the monitor 5 (step 6), go back tostep 1 for proceeding repeatedly. - Referring to
FIG. 7 , which shows schematically the “abnormality detection algorithm” according to the present invention; At first the program of themonitor 5 obtains abackground image 10 from each camera. Thebackground image 10 is the first image recorded by each camera or a previous image recorded by each camera. Thereafter the program of themonitor 5 obtains apresent image 11 from each camera. Both thebackground image 10 and thepresent image 11 have n×m pixels. The value pi,j of each pixel of thepresent image 11 is subtracted correspondingly by the value bi,j of each pixel of thebackground image 10, and then get the absolute value thereof. The n×m absolute values are sumed up for being divided by n×m to get Dmean, as shown by the formula inFIG. 7 . - The program of the
monitor 5 will set in advance a reasonable “abnornmality detecting threshold” Dthreshold. If Dmean>Dthreshold, then there is abnormality, the program of themonitor 5 will display saidpresent image 11 on the screen of themonitor 5. - Referring to
FIG. 8 , taking an example to describe “abnormality detection algorithm” according to the present invention. The program of themonitor 5 sets in advance a reasonable “abnormality detecting threshold” Dthreshold to be 25. If thebackground image 10 is almost the same as thepresent image 11, as shown in the upper part ofFIG. 8 , then Dmean calculated by the “abnormality detection algorithm” is 3, which is smaller than 25, so there is no abnormality. If thepresent image 11 appears a figure of a man, as shown in the lower part ofFIG. 8 , then Dmean calculated by the “abnormality detection algorithm” is 56, which is greater than 25, so there is abnormality. - The scope of the present invention depends upon the following claims, and is not limited by the above embodiments.
